Grand Challenges are issues where gaps in scientific understanding constrain the ability to make informed decisions on issues of pressing concern for the well-being of people and the environment, in a world affected by continued global change. BECC revolves around three Grand Challenges that must be tackled to find solutions to the combined consequences of anthropogenic emissions, land-use and cli

Koldioxidinfångning (CDR) har blivit en central komponent i de scenarier för klimatmitigation som IPCC har utvärderat. Dessa scenarier bygger på storskalig användning av bioenergi med avskiljning och lagring av koldioxid (BECCS) och skogsplantering för att hålla den globala medeltemperaturen under 2°C, trots betydande problem gällande genomförbarhet, skalbarhet och oönskade effekter. I den här avhCarbon dioxide removal (CDR) has become a central component in the climate change mitigation scenarios assessed by the IPCC. These scenarios rely on the large-scale deployment of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Afforestation to keep global average temperatures below 2°C of warming, despite substantial concerns about their feasibility, scalability, and unwanted impacts.

Agenda 2030 är en global målsättning satt av FN med syfte att bidra till hållbar utveckling runt i om i världen. Den består av 17 mål som ska uppfyllas av alla FN:s medlemsländer till år 2030. Agendan ska vara för folket och av folket, men min fråga är om de har lyckats med detta i praktiken. Utveckling och utvecklingsarbete har länge kritiserats för att ha ett så kallat ”white savior complex”; at

Vi skulle alla tjäna på mer samverkan och mindre motverkan. Särskilt i ett litet land som Sverige. För att möta de globala samhällsutmaningar vi står inför har behovet av integrerad forskning förts fram i den forskningspolitiska debatten. För hållbar utveckling behöver forskningen bättre och i ett tidigare skede inkludera samhället i arbetet med hur vi ska möta dessa utmaningar. Men för att verkli

The radiocarbon concentration of different atherosclerotic plaque fragments obtained from 20 patients in Portugal, operated in 2000-2001, has been measured in order to define the year of plaque formation. A difference of 1.8-15 yr was observed, with the mean and median both 9 yr, between the bomb-pulse date estimated with the CALIBomb software and the operation date. Stable isotope (delta C-13 and

This thesis reassesses the framework we have come to accept around the dynamics of slavery in a series of papers which, together, shed new light on the economics of coercion. Employing a range of newly digitized historical databases covering the economic life and genealogical history of the British Cape Colony through the 18th and 19th centuries, it explores the determinants of labor coercion in l

Centrum för kommunstrategiska studier (CKS) har i två decennier verkat som ett centrum för forskning och samverkan vid Linköpings universitet. CKS bedriver forskning med målet att fördjupa strategiskt relevant kunskap för en långsiktigt hållbar samhällsutveckling. Det gör vi genom akademiska fora och genom samverkan med kommuner och regioner. Genom det långsiktiga stödet från Linköpings universiteThe municipalities of Sweden are in motion. Some are growing strongly, while others shrink. The population's composition changes. The municipalities are becoming more different, which raises questions about structure and self-government. Climate and sustainability issues will be more central and how should the municipalities be governed in order to meet future demands for financial stability,democ

Since 1986, the Vietnamese socialist state has gradually opened towards the global market. Subsequently, socialist modernity may increasingly be outrivaled by the individualistic culture associated with global capitalism which is now gaining ground in Vietnam, especially among the urban middle-class who can easily access it. Proceeding from a post-colonial feminist framework, this thesis aims to i

The pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot

After years of secretive, back-door negotiations, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was finally revealed to the public on November 5, 2015. While the TPP has been regarded by some as the “gold standard” for free trade agreements in the twenty-first century, a wide spectrum of political opposition has continued formed around the deal. This paper builds on the growing body of critical scholarship
